Polar Regions

Polar Regions are the coldest places on earth. The Arctic of the north is partly frozen ocean surrounded by mostly barren, and often frozen, land. The south's Antarctic is an ice covered continent that is surrounded by stormy oceans. Although the two polar regions are similar in many ways, the animal life between them differs.

In the Arctic many animals live on the land. In the Antarctic the animals live almost entirely where the ice meets the ocean. Fewer animal species live in the Antarctic than in the Arctic.
